• Be Secure and Compliant with GitHub

  GitHub integrated security scanning for vulnerabilities in their repositories. When they find a vulnerability that is solved in a newer version, they file a Pull Request with the suggested fix. This is done by a tool called Dependabot. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• How to configure Dependabot with Gradle

  Dependabot provides a way to keep your dependencies up to date. Depending on the configuration, it checks your dependency files for outdated dependencies and opens PRs individually. Then based on requirement PRs can be reviewed and merged. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• Yarn.lock: how it works and what you risk without maintaining yarn dependencies — deep dive

  The first approach we looked at was Dependabot - a well-known tool for bumping dependencies. It checks for possible updates, opens Pull Requests with them, and allow users to review and merge (if you're confident enough with your test suite you can even set auto-merge). - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago

• 5 tools to automate your development

  Dependabot is dead simple and their punchline clearly states what it does. We started using it a couple of years back, a bit before Github acquired it. - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago

• Keeping dependencies up-to-date in Composer

  The most known tool for this is Dependabot. Dependabot integrates seemlessly into Github and is able to create pull requests for outdated dependencies. If you have set up automated tests on your codebase all you have to do is merge the pull request created by Dependabot. It does not get any easier. - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago

• Xmake: A modern C/C++ build tool

  Re: C/C++ development: anybody using conda/pixi for dependency management? Here's an example of compiling a C++ SDL program using pixi and the SDL dependency from conda-forge [1]. Seems viable as a replacement for things like vckpg [2] which only builds from source. I'm still researching this but it seems like rattler [3] is the tool to use to build/publish packages. The supported repos are: prefix.dev's own... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Ideas for project in C++ language use object-oriented programming

  Plenty of raw information should be available here, the actual vcpkg repo: https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg. Source: over 1 year ago

• Why isn't there a Central C/C++ repository for distributions?

  Actually, there is: C++ Library Manager for Windows, Linux, and MacOS. Source: over 1 year ago

• Cleanup my dependency management with vcpkg

  The installation is described in the readme of vcpkg on github and is straightforward: clone the project, execute the installation script and you are ready to go! - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Transitioning from Java to C++

  You didn't ask about this, but I think its worth mentioning Conan and vcpkg. Of the two I have found vcpkg easier to work with, but both can be good solutions. Combining one of these package managers with CMake presets can make getting a project setup on a new machine almost trivial (great for CI or onboarding new devs). Source: over 1 year ago
